“Dez is both a great professional and an amazing individual. His talent is recognized by all those who had the luck to work with him but even more important to me, he is someone with whom it's easy to work. He is an excellent designer, a good listener, flexible, motivating and fun. I had great pleasure being twice in the same team as Dez (2003-2005 Polymago ; 2011-2013 W&cie) we delivered great on/off line communication devices to our clients.”
—Vasco Cerqueira, Senior Digital Art Director at W&Cie
“It has been a beautiful chance to work with Dezyderiusz, who was my superior, a mentor and a supportive teammate for a year and a half at W&cie. His attention to detail and will for perfection has taught me to be expectant in each part of each element composing a graphic design production : style, inocography, retouching, composition, typography, color — all of it.
Dez also has the incredible capacity to apply his personal and contemporary touch to corporate brands, enhancing them in a fresh and subtle way. Therefore working with him is inspiring and creatively motivating, no matter which brand, constrains or problematic.”
— Alice Tetaud, Junior Art Director at W&Cie
“Over the past three years, I worked with Dezideriusz on ambitious corporate and financial communication projects for CAC 40 companies, and market leaders.
He was very particulary apreciated by the clients for his understanding and his creative approac. He was a great aid in gaining their loyality to our agency.
Dezyderio is also recognized for his "photographic eye" and amazing skill of typography that tends to get lost. I can only hope that our collaboration continues.”

He was in charge of Art Direction, for well-known clients and famous brands. He is able to build both design approaches, and creative commitment with a lot of passion, culture, and know how. Moreover, he was so nice to work with, very involved, precise and calm, during challenging and stressing competitions!”
—Olivia Gregoire, Director of Strategic Development at W&Cie
